A Key Factor in Sleep Quality

Sleeping is an aspect of health which you cannot compromise. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention Australia identify that “persons experiencing sleep insufficiency are more likely to suffer from hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity, cancer and increased mortality.” Most importantly, sleep insufficiency reduces the quality of life and productivity.

Furthermore sleep insufficiency can put anyone in danger when completing day to day activities. For instance, crossing the road when you are not fully aware of your surroundings paired with unluckiness can result in death.

Whilst lifestyle does affect the quality of your sleep, a bad mattress can cause discomfort and muscle pain. Investing in a mattress which is tailored to your body can be a life changing experience. It is important not to rush the decision making process and settle on a mattress which is specific to you.

There are many mattress types which have differentiating benefits. This includes Spinal Pedic, Memory Foam, Memory Gel and 7 Zone.

The best way to find your perfect match is through identifying your problem areas and matching it to mattress benefits.
